sneakerhead · 06-28-12, 07:46 PM

Aren't u on them to win it all anyways?

k13 · 06-28-12, 07:46 PM

Devils now I have to suffer through this.

I should have just took spain/italy final +1600 like I wanted to earlier. ughhhhhhhhhhh...

15x == ??

hawley · 06-28-12, 08:00 PM

So this is in addition to your future on Italy and the -300 on spain NOT to win it?

How much you got in total on Italy now?

GL

lakerboy · 06-28-12, 08:23 PM

I have 1500 on italy +160. 200 on italy +810. 100 on italy +1100.

4500 on spain -309 to not win. I'm either gonna be a real happy guy or a real sad one.

2006 FIFA world cup champion vs 2010 FIFA world cup champion

Ace_of_Spades · 06-28-12, 08:35 PM

I actually agree. I had them earlier to qulaify against Germany.

Sunde91 · 06-28-12, 09:58 PM

The pressure for Spain in this game will be unreal. They will play tight and make fools of themselves as they have recently. The performance vs Portugal with 6 shots is the joke of the tournament.

Italy's D is far better than Portugal and they have the best keeper. Balotelli has confidence and poise now, unlike the first Spain game.

Laker is also due for a big win while Spain is years overdue to lose

paco · 06-28-12, 10:05 PM

Wow, u have a lot invested in Spain not to win. GL

Goat Milk · 06-29-12, 12:20 AM

disagree here lakerman. Spain is way underrated at the back. When was the last time they've allowed a goal. 5 years ago? Anyway GL man you have way too much invested here.

BigBurk · 06-29-12, 12:39 AM

Hm.. I want to take them, great price still. But the Euro 2012 has been so bad for me, I'm a bit hesitant.

CanuckG · 06-29-12, 12:40 AM

Gonna be a great game I can say that much

Sunde91 · 06-29-12, 02:59 AM

Last 4 opponents that knocked out Germany in major tournaments won it all. Beating Germany lifts teams to new heights and marks them elite. Italy rock solid defense. Best keeper in the world. Best setup man in the world. One of the best strikers in the world now in good form.

Spain has run its course. No Villa. No Puylo. 2 shots on goal vs Portugal. Compare that to 2010 when they rained shot after shot on Germany and Netherlands. Pay attention they have no magic left after these 4 years

This will be the last game Pirlo and Buffon play for Italy and they will go out on top as legends it is in the stars

How about against Italy in the first game of the group stage?

Monte · 06-29-12, 03:49 AM

I think books have to give this line, cos of all the futures on Spain...
Either way if we are honest, this game could very well be a 50/50 chance, considering what state both teams are in currently.
Unless we are all missing something, but i can't see it.

aceking · 06-29-12, 05:11 AM

lakerboy + k13 = double fade .

jjgold · 06-29-12, 05:21 AM

Lakerman its a coin flip

Best of luck

aceking · 06-29-12, 06:16 AM

Not even the Italians laughed at that one.

Only place they could be better its right back, and Joao Pereira actually played its only good game against Spain. Hardly believe Spain does not score against italy. on the other hand, I see at least one goal being scored from italy. my bet will probably be on the over in this one. with another 0-0 scorecast to protect.

Interesting thoughts on the total I figured a lot of people would be expecting extra time to decide this.

Take the under ..sure bet

thetrinity · 06-29-12, 12:22 PM

like it laker gl.

dmtrader · 06-29-12, 03:16 PM

I like Italy, but Spain could play tight enough to force a shootout

Balco10 · 06-29-12, 03:45 PM

Good play Lakerboy. I should of fired on them last week when they were +584. On them at +158 for a buck. Italy looks unstoppable!

Yes, having Italy +1100 sucks for the of both us.

jules11 · 06-29-12, 04:56 PM

It is a coin toss... Two best teams in Europe duhh.
I'll take YES for Extra time at +210

forzaaa azzzzuriiiiiii

ROYAJA8 · 06-29-12, 05:41 PM

Spain is going to take this game. Italy will not score on that great defense and best goalie in the world. Iniesta will get 2 assist and hopefully the coach is smart enough to start Torres. 2-0 Spain, lakerboy is going to lose more than jjgold on sorry italy.

DarkNite · 06-29-12, 09:59 PM

You have chance, Laker. Italy may have something to prove.
I thin this game will go to PK, and Italy wins in shootout.

What? Both will be playing in Brazil in 2014. You've been betting against Spain for awhile now for dumb reasons. No magic left? Then how are they in the finals? Italy's defense is a joke. They just pack in the box and dare you to shoot from the outside.

You saying Boletteli is one of the best strikers in the world is a joke. He's not even close. Guy gets hot once every five games. Pique and Ramos will shut down Boletteli and get under his skin. He'll start bitching by the 30th minute, you'll see.

Italy is so weak on the counter if no defenders pull up and Pique never pulls up.

If you want to talk about setup men, Spain has 3 of the best 6 midfielders in the world. Inesta, Xavi may actually be the two best in the world. There are way more reasons for why I feel Spain will win this.

I was hesitant about taking Germany after I read the Lakerman's comments but I'm 100% confident in my bet here after reading all the comments on SBR.

GunShard · 06-30-12, 06:58 PM

I'll place a small bet on Italy.

Sunde91 · 06-30-12, 07:12 PM

Pirlo won't be likely at 35. Buffon at 36.5 could be there, but even for a goalie that is old. Balotelli the way he is playing now is one of the best, top 25 or however you put it. If he got the same chances he got vs Spain again today he would make at least 1. Huge difference today from 2 weeks ago

Yes Spain is out of magic. They won coinflip PKs vs Portugal after an even match (difference with Italy is they thoroughly outplayed England before PKs). Compare that to Spain suffocating and owning Germany in WC semis then playing a top Netherlands very well. This Spain isn't even close to the 2010 squad.

Italy played Spain the best by far. All kinds of chances, 6 shots on target, only ones to score on Spain. Italy is improving every game, now just off a huge German win. They will beat Spain that is barely hanging on and getting by, now with all the pressure of being in the final again

Sawyer · 06-30-12, 07:23 PM

Nice value on draw +220. Expecting Italians to lift the cup in extra time or penalties. 90-Mins end 1-1 or 0-0.
